From what I understand which isn't much: Faugus gave me the impression it's using that Debian based Steam runtime and makes it sound like Lutris, Bottles, etc don't even if you're using Proton. Does it matter? You tell me.
In practice I've not noticed any difference when I tested it out on a couple games to experiment. I don't use Faugus because Gamescope doesn't work yet according (last read a couple months ago) to their github page. If the old projects are dying then whatever. I'll use Faugus Launcher when it's actually ready.
I liked the GUI so far anyways so I won't be upset if I have to switch.
